FARMINGTON.

Noted Labor Lawyer Wa6 Native of Wapello County and at One Time

a Locomotive Fireman on Eurlington Here.

The subjoined resolutions of respect over the decease of John H. Murphy, late attorney for the Western Federa­tion of Miners and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, tell in. glow­ing terms the high esteem in v.-hich the learned lawyer was held by his fellow members of the bar at Denver. Mr. Murphy will be remembered by many Ottumwans as the son of James Murphy of south of the city. He was born on the farm close to the city limits on the south of the river and in the vicinity of the Michael prop­erty not. far from the Shaul ceme­tery. The late John Murphy rose from the ranks of labor to a lofty pinnacle in the legal sphere of Colo­rado and the west. Reared on the farm near Ottumwa. he, at about eighteen years accepted employment with the Burlington and ultimately be­came a locomotive fireman. It was at this work he was engaged at the time of the strike in J88S and left with the strikers. Going to Salt Lake City, Utah, he took charge of the railroad shops of the Union Pacific and left the position because he would not discharge certain sympathizers in a strike at the place. During the years he worked at labor he studied law and was admitted to the bar of Utah in 1895 at the head of a class of sixty applicants. His accomplishments in legal affairs are matters of history in the labor world, especially so in the west.

The Resolutions. , "Since the death of John H. Mur­

phy, attorney for the Western Federa­tion of Miners, there have been many tributes paid to his memory. From many of the local unions of the or­ganizations have come resolutions de­ploring the summons of the mes­senger that ended the career of a man who was loved and honored by all who admire a grand and noble character. On April 14 the members of the bar association of Denver met in the district courtroom of Judge H. C. Riddle where the five judges of the district court sat at the opening Of the term of court. The members of the bar association had assembled to pay their tribute of respect to de­parted members, and the eulogies de­livered upon their worth and merit, was of a type of pathetic eloquence that touch the heart strings and lift men's thoughts to loftier heights than the common plane where men contem­plate the sordid things of life.

"In the death of Mr. Murphy this association loses not merely a mem­ber of the bar, but. a man of national reputation in his chosen field of work; not merely a lawyer, but a searcher after truth; not merely a user of rhetoric, but a thinker of the first order; not merely a man. but a hu­manitarian. While he was satisfied of their brotherhood in immorality, he earnestly sought to extend the same relation to their morality.

"Suffering pains and agonies of a frail and dissolving body, but moved by an active and energetic mind, he was in bis very weakness a veritable tower of strength to those with whom he came in contract.
